i've worked on bikes in a whole lot worse places.

i have a buddy that used to have an old barn that had some old carpet laid over the dirt floor.we used to all work on our race quads in there.one time i was giving him sh!t about his carpeted dirt floor.he told me to go roll around outside in the dirt and come back in and tell him which was better the dirt or the carpet :laugh: .

i grew to like the carpet :silly: .

how big is the flake in your paint?
do the wheels have the flake in the paint as well?

Thanks for the compliments guys. ;) Mark, the lettering is two coats of gold pearl so most of the time you can't really see it. The paint is Planet Color blisterin' blue with some silver pearl over a black base. There's just enough pearl to give it a little flop. The wheels do have the flake and pearl in them also.

I'm not sure how big the flake is but you can see it here.
